Restore the Spoils System. It may not have been tidy but at least the clog was flushed occasionally.

Make them cleaners and short order cooks. Don’t lower their salary but make them scrub toilets and pump out septic tanks. If they perform poorly write them up.

My Father a manager in the DOD R&D offices. They were assigned a secretary who was a total slacker. It took 18 months to get her transferred to the Labor Department.

Not true they can be fired!

I personally know of several cases.

The problem is it very hard. A supervisor must be determined to do it, be persistent & must document their ass off! Needless to say it’s very hard, most supervisors don’t want to take the time or trouble. If the problem can be solved by moving the employee elsewhere that’s what is done. Path of least resistance!

The problem with this guy is what are you firing him for? His political beliefs? Just being a commie isn’t a termination offense any more. It hasn’t been since the 1970s. Those people used to be weeded out to some extent by loyalty oaths. You’d have to catch him in the act of sabotaging policy & have documented 9 ways to Sunday! Him just flapping his gums & sounding like a macho revolutionary isn’t enough! In the 1991 Gulf War there was a Treasury employee with a clearance (or so I was told regarding the clearance!) who went Iraq with those other peace-niks to stand with Saddam and be voluntary hostages (Quakers I think!). I Sm pretty sure he got his job back.

All the examples start with “Obama” .... it’s not impossible to fire Federal employees .... Obama didn’t want to fire the employees in the examples given.

I worked out of an office in which a Black female was fired.

They would have never done it except the other two clerks were also Black females and they resented her not doing any work at all.

This was Civil Service btw.

The guy being interviewed is a low level civil servant. I’ve worked with all sorts of whack jobs who were civil servant employees. Doesn’t mean they’re deep state. Means they think they’re more important than they are

That just shows Zero’s malfeasance.

Faked credentials discovered before going to court got one woman I knew of when the defense pointed out that lie.

And this woman was a ball-buster going after the prey.

This joke depicts..the Pubbies....

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; BOB & THE BLONDE

Bob walked into a sports bar around 9:58 PM. He sat down next to a blonde at the bar And stared up at the TV.

The 10 PM news was coming on. The news crew was covering the story Of a man on the ledge of a large building Preparing to jump.

The blonde looked at Bob and said, "Do you think he'll jump?"

Bob said, "You know, I bet he'll jump."

The blonde replied, "Well, I bet he won't."

Bob placed a $20 bill on the bar and said, "You're on!"

Just as the blonde placed her money on the bar, The guy on the ledge Did a swan dive off the building, Falling to his death.

The blonde was very upset, But willingly handed her $20 to Bob. "Fair's fair. Here's your money."

Bob replied, "I can't take your money. I saw this earlier on the 5 PM news, So I knew he would jump."

The blonde replied, "I did, too, But I didn't think he'd do it again."

Bob took the money.

Thank you for referencing that article grundle. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"“It’s impossible to fire federal employees.” Here are 20 real world examples."

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

President Reagan fired striking air-traffic controllers on the spot for example.

Reagan fires 11,359 air-traffic controllers

The problem is that the evil uniparty has tricked the states into ignoring the 12th Amendment (12A) procedure for electing a president. Ignoring 12A makes it easier for enemies of the USA to trick voters into abusing their voting power by electing people like lawless Obama to Oval Office.

The question is, while it was relatively easy for disgruntled patriots to clean up Oval Office, evidenced by Pres. Trump, how many elections will it take for patriots to clean up swamp Congress?

Typical “solution” in government is to transfer problem people to another division or agency. All it really does is shift the problem to someone else.

Yes he should!
If this guy’s position is one of these.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excepted_service

positions he should be gone tomorrow.

I guess Trump will have to decide if that’s a political battle worth having. Because it will get “political”!

I know of a state employee that has decades of firing worthy escapades including one that should have had him in jail.

He still has his cushy easy state job.
